    Fixing early stride

    How to fix? I'm ecstatic she gets any separation during the stride. Do you have a drill for this?

    Fixing early stride

    I guess the reason I want her to step down once is because up until she gets her toe down her hands are moving back and I'm looking for an easy fix. How do I get her to fix that problem?

    Fixing early stride

    Trying to fix timing issues. She was always late before and now she's always really early. We've been working on getting better coil and some separation and she's finally getting at least a little but since she's so early she drops her elbow and when she resets she's flat with the barrel. So...

    Which is better, Zepp or Blast?

    As part of the settlement with blast motion Zepp has agreed not to sell the sensors for baseball/softball beginning June 18. They say they're going to keep updating the app but I can't imagine they'll do a great job of it. That's why blast motion has the trade-in program. It's also why patents...

    Which is better, Zepp or Blast?

    Considering they can't sell the zepps after next month I'm surprised everyone doesn't have them on clearance.

    Which is better, Zepp or Blast?

    Just bought a couple zepps on eBay for $14 each. One to try out and the other to trade in for a blast motion. We'll see how it goes.

    How to help my talented young players overcome fear in the batters box

    I throw lite flite balls and hit my daughter routinely with those to make sure she takes the ball the right way. She also has a sleeve with a small elbow pad. Going to see if that works for her confidence enough or if we need a plastic elbow guard as mentioned above.

    Still having trouble getting separation between upper and lower body

    Is there a glossary for these terms? I tried looking them all up but I'm at a loss. Do you have a link for a Dad who surely learned a lot of wrong things to do during his playing days? Right now we're just working on timing but if you have something to work on concurrently that won't overwhelm...

    Still having trouble getting separation between upper and lower body

    Thanks again. She was doing better in batting practice but regressed during the game. It didn't help that she had two strikes thrown to her in three at bats. Here's one of them.

    Still having trouble getting separation between upper and lower body

    No. She starts moving her hands and back elbow forward at the same time as she strides so she doesn't get any separation. So are there any drills to get her to move her hands back while she's striding or do I just yell at her all the time to step when my arms at 12 o'clock which is what's...

    Still having trouble getting separation between upper and lower body

    Thanks guys. She strides when hitting off the tee. I windmill pitch to her and she gets a little stride in though she's always a little late. During the game she never strides and drops her hands as soon as she moves her leg. What drills do I use to get her to stride earlier? And how do I keep...

    Still having trouble getting separation between upper and lower body

    We've really just been working on sequencing so far and off a tee and with side and easy front toss she'll get her hands back during her stride but whenever she faces live pitching she never really gets her hands back (and sometimes starts moving her hands forward during her stride). Any...

    Got some Bill Hillhouse videos - mods delete if needed

    After he saw a post about my daughter. He gave me a great deal and after I'd paid he BM'd me back he told me he was going through some medical difficulties and sent me a link here to go fund me (https://www.gofundme.com/billhillhouse). I feel kind of like a dork buying the videos for so cheap...

    How do I get my daughter to relax her muscles while pitching?

    Thanks everyone for the tips. We've all had strep throat this week and it's been raining so our practice has been limited. I'll set up a net for her to throw into. Unfortunately I already know she'll pick out which hole in the net she wants to hit and tense up. That windmill trainer/perfect...

    How do I get my daughter to relax her muscles while pitching?

    Thanks. What muscles do I tell her to engage to keep her upright? I tried to tell her to squeeze her glutes and abs but she just laughed at me. When you say loose arm, lead with the elbow, maybe too much bend in the elbow, are you saying that she currently has too much bend as her arm comes...

    How do I get my daughter to relax her muscles while pitching?

    I switched both videos to public. Yes she is throwing sidearm. Her fingers are always under the ball. She struggles with this overhand too and all of her throws have movement on them. Makes it tough for our first baseman.

    How do I get my daughter to relax her muscles while pitching?

    Here's a wall drill and she still pushes her butt back to get her arm around the rear hip. What do I tell her to get her to stop?

    How do I get my daughter to relax her muscles while pitching?

    Here is a video. I really didn't want her to pitch this year as she just started pitching in January - but her team doesn't have any pitchers who can throw a strike. The things I see are: her timing is off, her lean - she really pushes her butt back to get her arm around her rear hip, her arm...
